[Intro – spoken / distorted] Yeah… Sky turn red, radios panic Jersey to the city, something landed You hear that horn? Run. [Hook] Tripods in the static, skyline gone tragic Heat ray flashin’, whole world go frantic Sirens in the distance, hope feel plastic Three legs movin’, yeah the future look savage Tripods in the static, ash in the air Crowds runnin’ wild but they don’t go nowhere From the ground to the stars, invasion declared 2005 nightmares, yeah we all scared [Verse 1] Came out the street like the ground had a grudge Lightning crack, then the earth just shrugged No warning signs, no mercy, no judge Just a horn so loud make your heartbeat jump Heat ray paint the block in flames Cars flipped over, everybody changed Family split in the chaos rain Smoke so thick can’t remember names News feed glitchin’, signal dead Red dust coverin’ what we said They don’t talk, they don’t negotiate Just harvest fear, annihilate [Pre-Hook] Look to the sky, see the clouds unzip Metal giants take the world by the grip Every step make the whole earth dip Three legs, one goal — apocalypse [Hook] Tripods in the static, skyline gone tragic Heat ray flashin’, whole world go frantic Sirens in the distance, hope feel plastic Three legs movin’, yeah the future look savage Tripods in the static, ash in the air Crowds runnin’ wild but they don’t go nowhere From the ground to the stars, invasion declared 2005 nightmares, yeah we all scared [Verse 2] Basements, ferries, runnin’ through the rain Kids too quiet, adults insane Military roll but it don’t mean a thing Missiles bounce off like it’s part of the game Eyes glow red through the smoke and glass History erased in a nuclear flash We ain’t ready for a war like that This ain’t tanks, this is aftermath Tripods drinkin’ life like fuel Planet Earth just livestock rules Cameras shake, world feel cruel End times playin’ on the evening news [Bridge – melodic ] If this is it, then remember our names We loved, we ran, we burned, we prayed From the ashes maybe something remains Even giants fall… to the smallest change [Verse 3] Plot twist hidden in the bloodstream Micro life bring the aliens to knees What we ignore end up savin’ the scene Smallest things break the war machine Tripods stumble, horns go quiet World still broken but we survived it Cities scarred but the sun still rises Hope limpin’ forward, bruised but defiant [Final Hook – Big Energy] Tripods in the static, legend engraved From thunder in the ground to the lives we saved Whole world shook but we still remain 2005 etched in cinematic pain Tripods in the static, remember that sound When the sky fell down and fear ran the town End of the world, still hear it now Three legs stompin’ when the beat pound [Outro – faded / eerie] Listen close… If the ground starts hummin’ again… Run.
